This $8 Million Car Lover’s Home in Upstate New York Comes With Private Access to Racetrack

For serious car lovers, it doesn’t get much better than this distinctive contemporary residence tucked inside the Monticello Motor Club’s gated Motor Club Estates enclave. The new-to-market property offers something rare for even the most high-octane auto enthusiasts—direct access to a four-mile racetrack, where owners can drive straight from their personal garage to the circuit—no trailers, no public roads, just pure adrenaline. Listed for $8 million with Robert Glessman of Douglas Elliman, the nearly 8,000-square-foot hybrid home and auto showroom is currently the second most expensive residence on the market in Monticello. The top spot goes to a sprawling $10 million, 30-acre compound overlooking the Swinging Bridge Reservoir, which spans more than 13,000 square feet with 12 bedrooms, 11 baths, a four-bedroom guesthouse, a caretaker’s apartment, and amenities from tennis courts to a private boat ramp.

Built by Mike Watkins, president and CEO of Woodstone Development, the home was designed as his personal residence—a showcase of modern technology, sustainable design, and a passion for motorsports. “As both the builder and developer of Motor Club Estates, 97 Serenity Lane was built using the latest technology in solar, geothermal, and materials, both on the inside and outside,” Watkins tells Robb Report. “With a full working race shop, including an in-ground scissor lift with flip-up jacks to the tire and wheel machines, and storage for 10 cars on the ground, the garage is a car lover’s dream.” Describing the garage as a dream might actually be an understatement. The professional-grade facility includes dual 80-gallon Ingersoll Rand air compressors, two nitrogen tanks with hoses, tire storage racks, and stone-hard floor coating rated for 10,000 psi—everything an amateur or professional racecar driver needs to keep the pedal to the metal. The four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home blends sleek design with high-end comfort. The nearly 2,000-square-foot great room, where an Alfa Romeo F1 show car is on display and blurs the line between art and engineering, serves as an entertainment hub with a 149-inch video wall and walnut acoustical ceiling. A 300-bottle glass wine cellar adds a dramatic touch, while the chef’s kitchen features an oversized island with built-in wireless chargers, and the dining area centers around a custom 18-person table. Each bedroom has a private bath. Radiant-heated tile floors run throughout, and, indeed, sustainability and comfort go hand in hand here. The property runs on geothermal heating and cooling, powered by Tesla solar panels with battery backup. A huge covered patio offers year-round comfort with motorized screens, an outdoor fireplace, and three heated stone lounge chairs that feel straight out of a five-star spa. The exterior’s maintenance-free Dutch siding completes the home’s sleek, modern look. As an added perk, the property includes a gold membership to the Monticello Motor Club, granting full access to the private racetrack, clubhouse, and exclusive member events.
